Tracing Glasgow Emigrants

This evening, I am presenting some information on data sources to assist with tracing emigrants from Scotland, viz:

• Port of New York at Ellis Island: www.ellisisland.org
• A record of 6,900 extant shipping registers: www.immigrantships.net
• The ships list website which contains passenger lists, etc: www.theshipslist.com
• The London based National Archive website which contains links to on line sources and archives in North America, Australia and New Zealand: www.nationalarchives.gov.uk
• A list of Scots who emigrated and travelled abroad with substantial Canadian content: www.nls.uk/catalogues/online/scotsabroad
• Hudson's Bay company www.gov.mb.ca/chc/archives/hbca/index

Hope the foregoing will help with what could prove a daunting task.
